Comparative Animal Biology...and all the perks

Home again...and out of the loop.

It's amazing how much living down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with only dial up to connect to the outside world with no other form of higher technology isolates a person. I really do need to get into the habit of writing on this blog...otherwise you all would think that I had dropped off the planet completely (and you would be half right...but only metaphorically so).

As you all know I am taking a course back here at home. Its great...class starts at 8am and I live at least a 45 minute drive away...on a good day and Michigan cunstruction season is here... (grin and bear it).

So...Zoology at a public school, yep its all that and a biscuit for your tea! The Professor is apparently a Catholic (lapsed or not is hard to tell at this point...but fervent he is not) but a very liberal or progressive one. At this writing I have not figured out whether or not he thinks that there is a true religion. So far all religions are about the same, just a mess of trouble and that we should all be peacefull like the animals...nice!

On Wednesday he treated us to the full blown Evolution lecture, and to make it more understandable he broke it down into a nice analogy for us. He says that just as all organisms come from one organism, so to do all religions come from one common ancestor. In essence what he was basically saying is that just as random as it is that we look the way that we do and have all the faculties of Human beings (home sapiens sapiens) so it is that by the same chance that Catholocism or any other religion teaches what it does and looks the way that they do. Relativism, Gosh do I miss Ave classes! The worst thing that we had to deal with was whether or not evil had being!

...so did evil evolve into being???

God Bless you all!!!

Not that I am aware of...and there is only one place that I would rather be than Paris...and that would be dear old Ireland!

Au Revior Havilah!
